three-page medical report from the family physician of accused killer george zimmerman, and it could become an important piece of evidence here because the day after martin was shot and killed, zimmerman visited his doctor. according to the records, he had a closed fracture of his nose and two black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head, and a minor back injury as well. martin savidge is joining us live from the cnn center in atlanta. martin, these developments seem to bolster zimmerman's argument that he killed trayvon martin in self-defense. >> that could be argued in two different directions, zoraida. the attorney that represents the family of trayvon martin is going to say it it doesn't necessarily prove that because what we don't know, despite the medical information that's coming now out of the discovery documents -- and this is all the information that the prosecution is now bringing forward that they have filed and must make available to the defense team. this is why this information is coming out now of the the special prosecutor, angela curry's office filed this information on monday. the medical report that shows the bruising on the knuckles, the autopsy report, when it comes to trayvon martin, the attorney for trayvon martin's family would say, look, trayvon martin was in the fight of his life against george zimmerman, and that's all this autopsy report would seem to reveal. ben crump speaking last night. listen. >> trayvon was fighting for his life. >> and you're saying that's why he would have injuries on his hands? >> absolutely. he was standing his ground. it was self-defense. if somebody got a gun, i want to fight for my life. >> so there you hear from ben crump, the attorney that represents trayvon martin's family. they don't necessarily say that the autopsy reports of the injuries on his hands are in any way an indication as to who started this altercation. and that's going to be key in a courtroom. >> martin, as we talk about this autopsy report, do we have any other details? because at issue here, a lot of people are questioning the bullet wound. how did it enter? was it from the back? was it from the front? do we know anything else from the details in the autopsy report? >> not yet. all we know -- and this actually came out from the original hearings held a couple of weeks ago. that bullet was fired, and it was a single shot, fired at very close range. the indication coming from that hearing that it appeared the weapon was either pressed against trayvon martin or just an inch or so away from trayvon martin. now that would seem to support the argument from george zimmerman that they are, in fact, in the struggle of their lives. but, again, it doesn't tell us who started it, and that will, of course, be vital in a courtroom. >> what were some of these other injuries sustained by george zimmerman that we're learning about? >> this is all coming, of course, when he went to the family doctor the day after the shooting incident. so what is pointed out is that he had what was called a closed fracture of his nose. he had two black eyes. he had an injury to his back, and, of course, he had the lacerations on the back of his head. again, the martin family's attorney would point out he didn't go to the hospital and he didn't have a concussion, which, again, if george zimmerman is saying his head is being beaten against the ground, if he's in fear of blacking out and losing his life, the injuries to the back of his head don't necessarily bear that out. this is going to come down to an argument of the experts when we get into a courtroom. >> really, at the end of the day, exactly what you said earlier. that is, who instigated the fight? martin savidge live for us in atlanta. thank you. >> you're welcome. the transportation security administration, the tsa, doesn't seem to get it. that sums up a new report from the department of homeland security's inspector general. it says the tsa is failing to adequately report, track, and fix security breaches at u.s. airports, like this one at newark liberty international airport where a man slipped into a secure area to kiss his girlfriend good-bye. that's a breach that shut the airport down for hours and delayed thousands of passengers. homeland security finds that only 42% of breaches are being reported to the tsa and the problems are being corrected only 53% of the time. we're going to find out much more about this interesting report and the breaches and the impact they have on you when we're joined by cnn aviation correspondent lizzie o'leary at 6:30 a.m. eastern. a massive manhunt is on for the husband of a bride found stabbed to death in her bathtub. police in burbank, illinois, right outside chicago, are looking for 34-year-old jimenez. he was last seen driving a black 2006 maserati after the wedding reception early saturday. his wife, a 26-year-old, was found stabbed to death on sunday still wearing her dress from the reception. jimenez is wanted on a first degree murder warrant. on a story we've been following, a georgia woman fighting for her life after contracting a rare flesh eating bacteria. this has been ravaging 24-year-old aimee copeland's body since a zip line accident two weeks ago. her leg and part of her abdomen had to be amputated. but her father told cnn's erin burnett her progress is nothing short of miraculous. >> doctors have been baffled. i understand one of the doctors went by, looked at her charts, and examined the vital signs and yesterday, you know, this just doesn't make any sense. we know it does make sense because we believe in miracles, and aimee is our miracle child. >> the strength of the human spirit there. andy copeland says doctors expect a, quote, roller coaster of highs and lows in aimee's recovery. and we could be witnessing the final hours of john edwards' corruption trial, and the former senator's attorneys still won't say whether he'll testify. his daughter cate is still expected to testify this morning, and they're considering calling former mistress rielle hunter to the stand. edwards faces up to 30 years behind bars for allegedly using illegal campaign contributions to cover up his affair with hunter. the mother of a mentally ill homeless man who died after a police beating has accepted a $1 million settlement from the city of fullerton, california. two of the officers who were seen repeatedly hitting 37-year-old kelly thomas face charges ranging from second degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. the beating was caught on tape. did you hear about this? a panel of fda advisers giving unanimous approval to an at home hiv test that can be sold over the counter. they say the test is safe and effective and the projected benefits far outweigh the potential risks of false positive and false negative results. federal health officials say 20% of the estimated 1.2 million americans living with hiv don't even know they're infected, and they risk spreading the virus. >> that's a big deal, the idea that you can skip the stigma and just get the test. >> the problem is the psychological effect of getting a positive result, right? >> that comes up in a lot of cases where the good outweighs the bad. listen to this. a dashboard camera puts you in the driver's seat for a terrifying ride. see what one couple saw when they say their car suddenly accelerated and then crashed.
